Double move to J8, on the roof (first move action to get to J7, on the ground, second using Up the Walls (EPH) to get to J8 on the roof)


Your turn.

[Bishop_Oz]

I'll hide/move silently readying my bow to shoot Jim if I see him and moving to H26 scanning along the edges of the barn/house thingy.

[Bishop_Oz]

Script bugs....

Hide: [roll0]
MS: [roll1]

[Paladin Latham]

LoS is established. Jim is on the roof at J8 and Lichen just finished moving to H26 all sneaky-like.

@Bishop_Oz:
I learned the hard way that you actually need cover to hide, the trees don't provide it according to the guy who made the map. Sorry. :smallfrown:

[Bishop_Oz]

For the Refs:
So, since I'd had a ready action to shoot Jim, this means I can make my attack now, yes? If so, I'll shoot at him Shot [roll0]

[Paladin Latham]

For Bishop_Oz:
I wish I could give it to you with a roll like that but when you hide and move silently you move at only half speed (15ft.) unless you want to take a -5 penalty for swift hiding. Since you couldn't actually reach H26 without doing so, and seeing as how you wouldn't even see him unless you moved farther back, I will assume that you swiftly double moved to H26 and then saw him. He is 30ft. up and 5ft. over after all...

[Maldiem]

Noticing Lichen, Jim gives a start, a takes a potshot with his crossbow
[roll0] Attack (+2 normally, -2 for one range increment farther away, +1 for fighting from higher ground)
[roll1] Confirm a crit, if needed
[roll2] Damage
[roll3] Extra damage from a crit, if needed

He then moves to the other side of the roof.


Moves to R8. (That breaks LoS, right? The roof is sloped.)


EDIT: Done

[Bishop_Oz]

@Refs/Paladin Latham:
Fair enough, I wasn't actually expecting to reach H26 on this turn, I assumed I was just moving at 15 and would get to L23-ish this turn. I still intended to shoot him the moment I had LoS

[Paladin Latham]

@Bishop_Oz:
You wouldn't have had a standard action left by that point. And you see your opponent dissapear over the the slope of the roof at M8. That roof-walker.

@Maldiem:
How do you get down to R8? did you fall off? :smallconfused:

[Maldiem]

@Refs

Shoot, I meant Q8, on the roof. Jim didn't have a sudden bout of Lemming-Syndrome. Is it possible to revise that?

EDIT: Also, the map is slightly unclear. Is there a haystack in the starting areas?

[Bishop_Oz]

:ooc:fair 'nuff:/ooc:

For the Refs:
I'll ready an attack and move to N26 shooting at Jim if I see him

Jim removes his Psicrystal from his pocket, activates its self-propulsion power, and telepathically instructs it to (Edit: *double move*) move to the other haystack, M11, and hide.

Jim himself continues hiding.

Refs:

Jim telepathically instructs his psicrystal to make noise. It begins a merry psicystal jig, bouncing around whilst inside the haystack.

Jim readies an action; should Lichen come within range of the haystack and begin an attack, he'll manifest Mind Thrust on him. If he's out of Mind Thrust range (25'), he'll instead fire his crossbow. Again, only if it looks like Lichen is about to attack Jim's location or his Psicrystal's location.


Done.

[Talic]

@maldiem

No LoS. Your prone position in M17, a hay square, grants total cover to you, but gives everything total cover from you.

Also, Readied actions aren't flow charts. You name one trigger, and one action, per SRD. If conditions aren't met when the trigger occurs (such as from being out of range), then you cannot take the action.


@Bishop

No LoS

[Bishop_Oz]

@Refs, just a Question:
I'm guessing he isn't going to be on the other side of the building, so I'm going to assume that he's in the barn. I noticed that this barn has some "doors" on it and I was wondering what it would take to open the doors with a Grappling hook from somewhere around E6 for the instance of the "North" door. What I'd intend to do is throw the hook to catch the door in some manner and yank it open. Also, just out of curiosity, how far open will these doors go?

Still your turn Jim.

[Bishop_Oz]

Looks around. "Hello? Anyone alive?" ...
